What I'm looking for

I’m interested in senior and lead engineering roles where technical depth, delivery velocity, and AI-native workflows are valued.

At Launch by NTT DATA, I’m delivering features end-to-end on a state government legacy modernization project, converting a PowerBuilder/COBOL system to C# and Blazor with a PostgreSQL backend hosted on AWS. My work across the UI and API has featured in consecutive biweekly client demos.

I’ve built an AI-assisted development workflow with Cursor and Claude that automates boilerplate generation, tests, code review, and pull request tasks. Previously at Washington Federal, I developed token-authorized C# APIs for core banking data and Python automations that eliminated hundreds of annual back-office labor hours.
